Chris Hughton To Get Birmingham Job

The Daily Mail is reporting today that relegated Birmingham City are set to appoint former Newcastle manager Chris Hughton as their new manager.

Chris Hughton – while manager at Newcastle We hope this news is accurate, because if anybody deserved to get a chance again in management, it’s Chris Hughton.

We’ll never forget the tremendous job that Cris did when he was the manager at Newcastle United for a short 18 months.

During that time Chris took Newcastle from the Championship, winning it with a a massive 102 points, and Hughton had Newcastle in 11tth place in the Premier League after 17 games, when he was replaced by current manager Alan Pardew.

Newcastle eventually finished in 12th place in the PL for the season.

Chris will replace Alex McLeish, who left the club last week to take over at rivals Aston Villa, and there’s obviously nothing like getting your current team relegated to get a plum new job elsewhere.

Why Aston Villa think Alex McLeish is qualified to be their new manager we have no idea a all.

Ironically, Birmingham have selected Chris Hughton over his pal and former WBA boss Roberto Di Matteo, who had WBA promoted with Newcastle a year ago, when they finished in second place a full 11 points behind Newcastle.

Hughton’s great success in getting a club apparently in a complete mess two years ago, promoted at the very first attempt obviously impressed the Birmingham board – and so it should.

It remains to be seen whether Chris will bring back current Hibernian manager Colin Calderwood, as his Assistant Manager – since Colin was his assistant manager at Newcastle during the promotion year but left last Ocotber to manage Hibs.

New Nottingham Forest manager Steve McClaren has been attempting to get Calderwood back to Forest, where Colin was the manager from 2006 though 2008.gether hand in glove and they are very g

Hughton and Calderwood had a very successful working relationship on Tyneside, and seemed to work hand in glove, and are also good friends.

As we said, we hope this news is true, and we wish Chris Hughton great success at Birmingham, and maybe we’ll see Chris back as an opposing manager at St.James’ Park before too long.

If and when Chris does return, he’ll no doubt get a terrific ovation from the very grateful Newcastle fans.

True cannot find a nicer man in Football its just a shame his Managerial ability like knowing how to use subs and Tactics on formations etc.. he lacks this ability Chris and a guy thats good at those things would be a good duo for Birmingham if it happens, If not and its just Chris they may struggle.

Lets hope we don’t bump into Birmingham in one of the cups, Chris would have a big point to prove. On another subject, Apparently Matuidi and Erdincs Agent has come out and said that Any player in France would want to come to NUFC. Two more signings on the way possibly, Guess our rep in France is pretty good, Naifron would be able to confirm. Apologies if I’ve spelt you name wrong Naifron.

Seriously think that Taraabt is ridiculously overrated, yeah he’s had a good season in the fizzy pop league doesn’t mean he would be good in the EPL after all Lovenkrands did well in the Championship but has never been able to make the step up, I know Taraabt is better than him but the fees quoted for him are ridiculous

health update

My latest bone scans and CAT scans were completed on Wednesday of this week and yesterday I met with my oncologist Dr. Dhruva to look over the results.

The stage four cancer remains stabilized and has not spread any further over the last six months.

I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in early 2017 after being in remission for six years.

The cancer metastasized through the bones to different parts of the body and the treatment I am undergoing is hormone treatment.

There is no cure for stage 4 cancer but there are treatments (like Hormone treatment) that attempt to prolong life.

I am upbeat with the results and remain in awe of the doctors and nurses at the Rex Cancer Center here in Raleigh.

It's truly humbling to see how inspiring they are with their patients.

It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.
